    Wir sind die ganze Strecke, von Saalfeld bis Hörschel und weiter den Werra Radweg gefahren. Landschaftlich ist die Route sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man vor Anstiegen nicht zurück schreckt. Da es kein Flußradweg ist, muss man mit diesem Profil rechnen. Die Wege sind nicht alle befestigt, meist aber gut befahrbar. Die Wegweisung ist gut, aber noch nicht vollständig, besonders in Ilmenau irritierte die Wegweisung durch die Einbahnstraßen. Die Radroute ist sehr gut geeignet, den Werraradweg noch besser anzubinden und die schönen Städte, wie Bad BLankenburg, Königsee, Ilmenau, Ohrdruf, Friedrichroda, Bad Tabarz und Eisenach zu besuchen. Ab Langewiesen erreicht man, über den Bahntrassenradweg, recht zügig auch den Rennsteig.

    Eine sehr leichte Tour. Diese Strecke ist zu 90% asphaltiert. Die Strecke kann man schnell gegen Abend fahren.
